College of Education

The College of Education develops empowered educators with the professional knowledge needed to Learn, Lead and Succeed. With majors ranging from early childhood through secondary education, certifications, micro-credentials and a doctoral program, our graduates are instrumental in developing the leaders of tomorrow.  


A gift to the College of Education supports opportunities like...

  The Dean's Opportunity Fund puts students first by assisting them in times of sudden financial hardship and prioritizes program innovations for cutting-edge educator preparation. 

  College of Education Scholarships allow deserving students to pursue their degrees and careers in education despite their economic situations.   


The College of Education trains students who go on to teach the future. Your investment in our programs and initiatives will provide the resources to enrich students' lives at NKU and create a ripple effect across generations.
